2-Iodoethanol

Further information

Use water spray to cool unopened containers. 6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Wear respiratory protection. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Beware of vapours accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas. 6.2 Environmental precautions Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. 6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Contain spillage, and then collect with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by wet- brushing and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13). Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. 6.4 Reference to other sections For disposal see section 13 7.1 Precautions for safe Handling Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge. 7.2 Conditions for safe Storage, including any incompatibilities Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Recommended storage temperature: 2 - 8 °C Light sensitive. Handle and store under inert gas. 7.3 Specific end uses A part from the uses mentioned in section 1.2 no other specific uses are stipulated 8.1 Control parameters Components with workplace control Parameters. 8.2 Exposure Controls Appropriate engineering controls Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product. Personal protective equipment Eye/face protection Face shield and safety glasses Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU). Skin protection Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it. Body Protection Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace. Respiratory protection Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU). 9.1 Information on Basic physical & chemical properties a) Appearance Form: clear, liquid Colour: dark yellow b) Odor no data available c) Odor Threshold no data available d) pH no data available e) Melting point/freezing no data available Point f) Initial boiling point and 85° C at 33 hPa - lit Boiling range g) Flash point 65° C - closed cup h) Evaporation rate no data available i) Flammability (solid, gas) no data available j) Upper/lower no data available Flammability or explosive limits k) Vapor pressure no data available l) Vapor density no data available m) Relative density 2.205 g/cm3 at 25°C n) Water solubility no data available o) Partition coefficient: n-octanol /water no data available p) Auto ignition no data available Temperature q) Decomposition no data available Temperature r) Viscosity no data available s) Explosive properties no data available t) Oxidizing properties no data available
